good for simple portraits, weddings, sports, product and shit like that aka. snapshitting your way around... but thats about as far as anyone with brain would recommend you use these lenses for if you want to make it past being a locally known ''go-to-photographer'' because your images will have a robotic, AI, digital look and color even after heavy editing and wont feel natural at all, even to normies/clients who dont know shit about photography. and god forbid you try to do anything serious video related with that window glass, your shit will look like dogshit even after 100000000 layers of color grading and corrections, not even a six digit salary hollywood film editor would be able to save that footage.
aside from that, if you want to do anything more than that, if you want to do some commercial work, maybe some agency work or do a business promo or do some real video work or anything a little more serious, you will be shit out of luck with these lenses. you will need something better. plus, out of almost a collective 600 lenses combined of ALLL of these aforementioned window glass lens manufacturers, there are only 9-10, maybe 11-12 good lenses i can name and even out of those 12*, tokina has 3 and irix has 4.
if you want good glass, your bets bet is native glass from canon/nikon/sony, with nikon having the best glass and the highest amount of good glass, followed by sonys GM, ZA and SOME of their G lenses and if you specifically want 3rd party glass, then you will have no choice but to turn to mitakon, irix, voigtlander, zeiss or some of those rare hidden gem lenses from other manufacturers.
if you need your shit to go next level, you need to leave gearfagging behind you and start looking at top tier glass.
